NEW YORK_ COTTON
New York.—The cotton market recov
ered most of yesterday’s late reaction
during the day's early trading. The
opening was steady, unchanged to two
higher. Houses with Liverpool connec
tions were active buyers of old crop po
sitions while a sharp advance in New
Orleans created a more bullish idea of
the spot situation. There was active
coverng after the call and prices soon
showed net gains of three to eight
points. July and August again led the
advance.
The market was firmer during
afternoon on bullish week-end figure*,
reports of steady Southern spot markets
and renewed bull support. Active months
sold about four to six points net higher.
Cotton futures closed barely steady.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Chicago, Ills. —Fresh rainfalls report
ed today from Nebraska and Kansas In
addition to the showers of the previous
day, caused the wheat market here to
take a downward bend. Prices opened
unchanged to 1-8 lower, rallied a trifle
and then underwent a moderate general
sag.
Slowness of cash inquiry both here
and In the southwest had a depressing
effect on corn. After opening a shade
to l-4a3-8 down the market eased off
all around.
Oats weakened on account of the
rains. About the only demand came
from cash houses.
Provisions suffered from lack of sup
port. Firmness In the hog market was
virtually ignored.
Rains In the spring crop region were
against any Important upturn In wheat.
So also were liberal purchases of wheat

Washington, D. C. —Proceedings were
begun in the supreme court today to
determine whether the national guard
may he sent to Mexico, or other terri
tory outside the United States without
first being mustered. In as volunteers.
The proceedings are in the nature of an
appeal from the action of Judge Day in
the federal court in Northern Ohio in
dismissing an action of Lieutenant Col

General George H. Wood of the Ohio
National Guard growing out of prepara
tions for mi’.itia movements outside the
country.
To Test Constitutionality.
The court action is designed to test
the constitutionality of the recently en
acted militia law, under which Secretary
of War Garrison directed the various
national guard organizations to mobilize
“under orders from the President, upon
the declaration of war or the immience
thereof.” The suit was begun April
13th, at Cleveland, and Judge Day dis
missed the action.

going, and tho machine skidded, the
motorcycle and the rldc-r the next in
stant being thrown violently against
the rear part of the car. The heavy
compact separated the young man and
the motorcycle, with the result that
the former was dragged under the
Journal box of the rear trucks for
approximately twenty-five feet, in the
course of which his neck, skull, back,
ribs and left arm were broken, right

sustained and body slightly mangled.
First to Reach Sancken.
Mr. Guest was among the first to
reach the hoy and he had then breuth
ed his last. The undertaking estab
lishment of W. I. Wilson was phoned
and the remains taken directly there
for preparation for burial. No one was
allowed to remove the body or the
motorcycle, according to Mr. Guest,
until the undertaker arrived.
When asked if he heard the motor
man ring his gong in warning, Mr.
Guest replied that if the bell was rung
he did not hear it; that he could not
say positively whether it rang or not.
This phase of the incident did not
seem to be clear in his mind.
Stewart Walker is a youth of about
twelve years and he stated that he was
absolutely sure that the motorman
rang his gong. He was probably not
In as good a position to know, how
ever, as Mr. Guest, who stood nearer

Mr. Spofford’s Statement.
When asked for a statement. Gen
eral Manager It. W. Spofford, of the
street railway, supplied the follow
ing:
"The statement of the crew of car
No. 20, regarding the deplorable iffci
ilent which happened at the corner of
Greene and Fifth streets this morning
is, in substance, as follows:
“That tho car had stopped at Kills
street to pirk up a passenger and was
entering into Greene street, at a slow
rate of speed, with the gong ringing.
"The, motorman states that he saw
a prospective passenger (Fireman
Guest) walking up the south side of
Greene street, corning toward the car
track from the east, and that he was
slowing his ear down preparatory to
making tho stop on the sfiuth side
of Greene street to take on this pas
senger, when ho saw tills man raise
his hand In an excited manner, at
which signal the motorman applied
emergency air, and stopped tho car
immediately. The front of tho car
when stopped had not reached the
south side of Greene Street.
“The ronductor was on the rear plat
form collecting tho fare from the pas
senger, who had hoarded the car at
Kills street, and neither the crew nor
the one passenger aboard knew any
thing of the accident until the motor
man was told by Fireman Guest that
a man had run under the cur.
"Mr. Guest Is tho only eye-witness
available at present, and he made the
statement to tho police, that the street
car men were entirely blameless. He
says that Mr. .Sancken was corning
lroin the <ast on the north side of
Greene street on his motorcycle at a
high rate of speed, and when he saw
that he would run into the side of
the car endeavored to turn his ma
chine south on Fifth street with the
evident Intention of lr>Jng to run par
allel with the car; that as he turned
his machine skidded and that Its mo
mentum carried It in front of the rear
trucks.
"It Is needless to add that every
employe connected with us deeply feels
this most deplorable accident, and our
heartfelt sympathy Is with the be
reaved family of Mr. Sancken."
